GROSS MOTOR/DMI

From Play To Words

Movement That Builds Confidence, Awareness, and Participation

Movement and dynamic skills are the building blocks that allow your child to move, play, and explore their world. We use active movement to help them understand their body, feel confident, and build awareness. We provide personalized support for many developmental needs, including Cerebral Palsy (CP), Down Syndrome (DS), and children facing movement or coordination difficulties. By focusing on your child’s unique strengths, our services helps them move better, manage their feelings, and fully take part in daily life.

Evidence Informed Approach

Our gross motor intervention is structured to enhance independence, confidence, and participation in daily life.

Play-Based Focus

Movement activities with a functional focus and individualized goals.

DMI - Dynamic Movement Intervention

Full-Body Support

Evidence-Informed Gross Motor Intervention

Our therapy is based on the latest research and clinical expertise. We focus on how improving movement helps your child with daily activities and confidence, adjusting our approach constantly based on how they are responding and progressing.

Play-Based Movement With a Functional Purpose

Our sessions use fun, play-based activities that mirror real-life movements like balancing and navigating space. We work together with your family to set goals that matter most to you, focusing on how your child gains confidence and participates in daily life, rather than just ticking off skills.

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)

DMI uses purposeful, therapist-guided dynamic movement to encourage active motor responses, support postural control, and promote progress in motor skill development for children with movement delays. Contact us to learn more.

Supporting Body Awareness, Coordination, Balance and Endurance

Explore fun activities that help your child build the balance and coordination they need to feel confident and stay active all day.

Collaborative Approach with Families and Caregivers

You are our most important partner. We work together to share easy strategies you can use at home and in the community, making sure your child’s progress is meaningful and lasts long after our sessions end.

    GOVERNMENT APPROVED PROVIDER

    FSCD Funding

    We are a proud FSCD provider. Our collaborative, play-based therapy can be funded through Alberta’s Family Supports for Children with Disabilities program.

    We believe in a Family Coordinated approach where families are an integral part of the decision-making process. We honour family's opinions, contributions and participation in the treatment process. Our therapists work directly with children and families to model support strategies that can be used by parents in the next 24 hours. We believe in the value of specialist (SLP, OT, PT, Psychology, Behaviour Support) visits to maximize the success of programming. We provide you with the support, problem-solving and suggestions you need to improve your child's Social-Emotional, Cognitive-Linguistic and Physical-Sensory functioning.
